Powerball Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 A lot of thundersleet here in the last 30 minutes on my treacherous drive home. What's your total so far? The storm reports in your area would suggest around 1/2 foot of mostly snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Completely changed over to snow in last few minutes. First flakes of event. Pretty large flakes as well. EDIT: Some lightning showing up just north of Cedar Rapids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokomoWX Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I just drove 40 miles through a 35 degree "tropical storm" lol. Huge drops and heavy sideways rain for more than 30 minutes. Had to park on the road, my property is under water. That is an excellent description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Switched over to light rain here, no more freezing rain thank god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indeedinger Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Snow like mad right now - huge flakes! 5 inches sleet/snow combined - probably (best guess 3.5 snow/1.5 sleet). Roads are atrocious - took a 2 block trip to pick up a pizza and it was extremely slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 HRRR continues to show a good area of snow moving along/north of 88 over the next few hours. We'll see how far east snow can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisWx Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Obs notes from the past 30 minutes from Rogers City, MI (NE Lower MI near Alpena). 7:00pm - Winds picking up significantly. Easterly gusts up to 34 mph. The neighbors Xmas lights are falling off their trees. 7:15pm - Winds is still just as strong. Radar indicates snow precip will hit any time. Expecting visibility to go from good to awful in a matter of minutes once it hits. 7:20pm - First snow from the storm actually hitting the ground, large fluffy flakes. Current temp is 24 degrees, up two degrees since 5pm. 7:23pm - Snow intensity picking up, blowing sideways down my street. 7:30pm - Fluffy snow coming down in sheets now. I barely can see the street light a block down from my living room window. Winds still strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Light precip continues as IP. Heavier returns soon to move in again, with OBS sites showing IP or -SN to the southwest. Finally have flipped over to plain rain. CC shows that will be short lived, with a flip back to IP likely soon. Looks like snow is as close as DKB now.
